Abstract

Careful control during the bromolactonisation of β,γ-unsaturated acid 3 was required to afford regioselectively the trans-β-lactone 4 as the major diastereomer. Radical debromination of 4 followed by a three-step sequence of reactions afforded the lipase inhibitor (-)-tetrahydrolipstatin.
